Good point. Instead of calling these people "talking heads" I believe we should refer to them as "talking asses". Nothing they say makes any sense if you think about it for more than a second.
Give me a break! Michael Steele has manure for brains. This downward slide will not end. Soon the head of the RNC will be a blob of slime mold growing around the base of Rush Limbaughs' toilet.
Even if that had been the case, he would still be wrong. The government creates jobs in the private sector all the time.
You know, like the defense industry? My friend's husband has worked for Grumman making war machinery for Uncle Sam for, hmm, let's see...TWENTY FIVE YEARS.
Doesn't sound like that job's going away, does it?
First, the making of arms by private corporations is a relatively new system. They were not always made in the private sector. In World War II and prior, all military arms were made by governments.
Second, the defense industry has seen some extreme drawbacks to using private military contractors for military infrastructure. Id est Blackwater. Using the private sector for military use only incentives these corporations to cut costs, which risks the lives of our soldiers.
However, I would not call any economic practice that spans the last 67 years "relatively new." Those are all the years of the modern economic structure we know today. Certainly, it covers a human lifetime.
And even the stuff that actually is new (such as outsourcing janitorial work) still count as creating jobs in the private sector.
1. Outsourcing is a decision made by private businesses.
2. Janitorial work where? In government buildings? What's your point? Those are public jobs. The government is not paying people to mop the floors in the phone company buildings.
Bussineses are going over seas because of slave labor $2.00 a day and no polution standards,no tax decrease will beat that. I say tax them when products come into the country until its worth it for them to return
There is also the cost of our shitty health care system. Americans spend TWICE as much as any other developed nation on it, and yet look at infant mortality, life expectancy and the number of preventable deaths.
Its embarassing that we can't beat Costa Rica in some areas.
Hey dickhead, we had long term prosperity, but the US Gvt fucked it up deliberately. The greedy corps and int'l bankers of the world want everyone else to have nothing. So they hired you to read off a teleprompter and disguise the fact that the federal reserve bank runs everything.
So take your gvt-based jobs and cram them up your ass
Hah, you don't know Michael Steele then, he is a smart guy who recognizes that the reason republicans failed was because they were spending like liberals for the past 4 years of the Bush presidency, which is why he is a conservative rather then a republican.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well liberalism does not work, just look at Europe and their economy and weak policies. it is a myth that conservatives are all religious and just because you claim to be a religious person does not mean you don't make mistakes in life, for some reason you liberals think that you must live a perfect life in order to claim yourself a christian.
your right, they should just tax us and then sit on the money on silly things like infrastructure ...while bridges like that one in Minnesota collapse and kill everyone.
Or education...(now that we're one of the dumbest nations globally).
Or stem cell research. (Even though that's technically pro-life, you'd think the GOP would be jumping all over it.
If conservatives were about less government, then why don't they quit their jobs ..and shrink it instantly?
No they should cut taxes so people spend and businesses can hire, with a business tax of over 35% we make it easy for companies to take business overseas.
Throwing money at education does not work, just look at DC where they spend the most money on education in the country and have one of the worst statistics.
There is no reason the Federal Gov needs to fund anymore Stem Cell research, the private industry is allowed to do all they want,if it is worth is they will do it.
Let me put it in simpler terms, as Rash Limpballs said about Colin Powell's endorsement of Obama it's all about "race." I wonder how he feels about this now, The only reason why the Grand Obstructionist Party chose him was because they needed someone black so that way the GOP could attack Obama without looking like racists.
The thing about Steele, Steele is the GoPee's lap dog, I thought Bush and Rash Limpballs were illusional. But he takes the cake. The only reason why the Grand Obstructionist Party chose him was because they needed someone black so that way the GOP could attack Obama without looking like racists, nice try GOP. America atleast I hope not is stupid enough to buy your BS.
Dont they sell contracts for like the energy projects and doesnt that create jobs in the private sector. Also ive heard that private companies have pledged to hire if the bill is passed. So this bill and govt would help create jobs outside govt. What a radical statement from steele. This guy is suppose to be a moderate?
Its not true what you say, though I would love to see what backs up your belief.
But my main response is, if what you say was true, that would look really bad for all african american christians that a kenyan muslim is the smarter more well spoken man who will end up fixing this country.
If you still don't know, Barack Hussein Obama's father was Kenyan, That makes Barack Jr. Half Kenyan by nature and blood. Barack Obama is not more smarter than me. He just had opportunities that most of us never had: his father attended Harvard and was an economist. Obama palled with rich and powerful people who helped him get to the top.
But still Obama has no experience whatsoever. He just got lucky in 2008.
Obama is half african and half american in terms of gentic makeup. Seems like a real african american to me. Religion has nothing to do with it. If hes born in the U.S. then hes american. (a proven fact unless your a crazy radical blogger i.e. Texaslocoman)
AFRICA is not a country. Did you know that there is not an AFRICAN PASSPORT???? Obama is not African American. He is Half American and half KENYAN!!!!!!!
No, because your a fucking douche with no education who keeps calling Obama a Muslim because he scares you. Read a history book before you open your stupid fucking mouth asshole.
Yes, members of his family are muslims or atheists. His father was Catholic for a time.
What evidence is there that he was raised as a muslim, and why the hell would it matter anyway? Lots of people are raised in one religious group and then later changed to another.
If your parents are from the Asian region and your born in the US then you are a what.......ya asian american that includes any country in there so if your parents or descendants are from Africa Region which Kenya is in then guess what same rules are applied This is from Webster. : an American of African and especially of black African descent
This guy who had to go to summer-school in order to squeak by at Johns Hopkins will just make Barack "President of the Harvard Law Review" Obama look even smarter than he already is.
I ask you all to go research the two: Michael Steele and Barack Obama. It sickens me that libs will accept an inexperienced black guy just because he is black and sings the silly lib song without any knowledge or experience, but you attack the black buy who is conservative. You call blacks who are conservative "uncle tom" which is disgusting. The truth is: a black conservative goes against what you libs tell them to believe and find the truth.
Barack is Mulatto.Most so-called Blacks in the so-called USA are not pure.The word"conservative"has different meanings;which one(s?)are you using?Word games,anybody?
What moron posted this video? Why do you libs feel the need to throw your junk on here and then run away. I challenge the ignorant lib who posted this to a debate on politics. I will tear you apart. Michael Steele is a man of conviction - he says what he means and means what he says - unlike that idiot BO. That man hasn't live one day of his adult life in the real world. Too many Americans bought his bullshit and now we will pay.
Headzup, there's a difference between "job" and "work", as Steele noted. a job and work isn't the same in that a Job actually exists to generate WEALTH. Work is really just giving people something to do for the sake of not giving them free money.
When will the media bring up Steele lying about having Oreo cookies thrown at him? And Ronald Reagen was a loon and Sarah Palin-stupid. He was toxic for the country and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I guess the cure for unemployment is for everyone to work for the government. Why didn't we think of this before? We could cure the homeless and the downtrodden by just putting them on the goverment payroll...... The government doesn't create jobs in the sense that government doesn't create private sector jobs. Maybe still should have specified considering the maturity of some of in the audience.
the point of it all is that, if you watched Steele's interview with Stephanopoulis, you would have seen him try and say that the government doesnt create jobs, it creates work. Only businesses creates job. George gave him two or three chances to try and explain it in a way that would make sense to the nearly 3 million people who have lost their jobs this past year and he couldn't. I'm sure that they would take 'work' over nothing at all.
I am with you. It was a nice try. However, contract jobs are jobs. Of course, what we want are more longterm jobs. But government does have a very important role to play. George had every right to go after him. You are right, he gave old dude more chances than Katie Couric gave Palin.
I've never been a fan of the Republican party, but they have reached a new level of desperation. To "steal away" President Obama's shine, they nominated an African American male chairman of the their GOP. So now they want Uncle Tom (I mean Mr. Steele vs Obama just like they used Alain Keys against Obama back in 2004?! Give me a break!!!
As time went on, however, many countries developed welfare system designed, as the name implies, to look out for the welfare of the nations' citizens. Welfare systems usually provide basic necessities such as education, health care, and unemployment benefits.
Hitler's Socialist part was nothing of the sort. In fact the Nazi imprisoned other socialist parties in Germany in the 1930's. They were considered RIGHT WING, by every other political movement in Germany!
The beginnings of modern Socialist Democracies came from the early Industrial Revolution. When it became clear that some changes had to be made to appease the discontent masses, the government, hitherto backers of business, began to make concessions to prevent the people from rising up in full revolt. These concessions took the form of 5-day work weeks, overtime pay and better working conditions.
Socialist Democracies incorporate modern concepts of freedom and economics, but also have a strong central government that heavily taxes its people to provide a wide range of services. *New Deal* *National Health Care*
the GOP has decided to go on its no truth diet....so far they have gone about 8 1/2 years without telling the truth......they are truth vegans......if it ever had a shadow of truth to it they won't tell it.....the democrates aren't complete truthavores but they are the closest we have to any level of sanity
Steele is Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR and greater politician and statesman than Steele could ever be for Palin has the ULTIMATE and SUPERIOR PACKAGE! Steele will bow down, kiss her feet and SUCK on her PACKAGE in order for him to help Palin defeat Obambi in 2012 and become America's GREATEST POTUS for all times! She will put all MALE POTUS to SHAME for they are all her DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCHES and PUSSIES!
Not at all.. Capitalism puts the drive for profits over the need of the society and the people's survival. Our interests and then divided and we're easily manipulated (because our response to economic uncertainty is a very natural one). True Liberty can only be achieved once we breaks these chains.
Socialism keeps your Capitalist system in check. Without it the lower classes would rebel and replace the wealthy classes (remember only the top 10% are wealthy). Your system is broken.
Geez half the population is either a govt employee or licensed under the govt, everyones a freaking bureaucrat. Now I dont like that, because govt just keep growing, and will never cut anything till the point it eats itself that is (which I dont think is far off). But you sure as hell cant say there are no govt jobs.
Oh, yeah. There's also Ken Blackwell. But no one gives a fuck about him anymore after he lost the gubernatorial race in 2006 but still claimed at the RNC Chairman's race "I can win elections." WHAT! HAHAHAHAA
There was a black Republican from OK in Congress in the 1980s and 90s (or maybe just the 90s) who wrote a book about conservatism and color "What Color is a Conservative?", but no one really seems to remember the guy. He's hardly acknowledged anymore. Michael Steele is about the only black Republican in this country who's well-known, which is odd considering there are at least a few black republican organizations with a good number of members, such as the National Black Republican Assoc.
It's amazing how such a low-profile douchebag who's done nothing of note can become RNC Chairman in just a short amount of time. I mean, who the fuck ever remembers or cares about a Lt. Governor?? They're like the guys that hide behind the boss at important events for assistance but who no one gives 2 shits about.
How did Michael Steele rise to prominence in the GOP again? I'm lost here. Could it be that the GOP is just as race-baiting as the Dems and are elevating a black conservative?
silly liberal. Those jobs already existed before the government "created" them. Private industry creates computer programmers where there were none before. Government could never do that.
So keep your dirty wasteful government hands off my innovation.
Governments create jobs and have always created jobs. When the Department of Homeland Security launched it's big counter terrorist initiatives it created MANY jobs. When the CIA was created it created many JOBS. Silly Conservative dinbat.. such a small feeble mind.
The government often invests into the private sector to create jobs and stir the economy. How do you think the green jobs will be created? Also what do you think those big military budgets consist of?
Nazism was not socialism though.. it was fascism. There was nothing socialist about Nazism. I mean if I tell you a bowl is filled with ice cream when it's quite apparent it's filled with Ketchup will you believe me? Of course not.
Socialism is but a belief in a common responsibility. It doesn't work well in a Capitalist system per-say but is nonetheless needed. Only an idiot would state otherwise.
Pierre- You make the classic errors in your definitions. First there has never been pure socialism, communism or fascism in practice that only exists in text books and lecture halls.
The German Workers Party did indeed start as a socialist movement. No matter how you polish the apple socialism always leads to tyranny and HAS killed 10's of millions.
Socialism is tyranny because someone must take from the collective by force in the name of redistribution.
Personally I'm a Liberty (negative Liberty.. a.k.a Individual Liberty) proponent. I am best described as a Classical Liberal (like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin).
But I believe that the only good system to be under is a Technocracy. Only human innovation can solve problems.. self interest is counter intuitive. And only technology can free us and give us true Liberty.
Because Technology can free us from useless, mindless labor and allow us to truly use our minds and imagination to create a better world by working to find solutions to problems that plague mankind.
In order to have this, we need to let go of self interest (greed). And the only way to do that is getting rid of Capitalism and working under a system that creates an environment where Human innovation can thrive (not bound by the limitations of Cost and Profit).
Human reactions can easily be predicted based on environmental changes. The situation you live in, under or with will undoubtedly decide the which natural human response you emit.
Pierre-Seems a contradiction to me. Self interest is human nature. You, me no one can alter human nature.
Plus America and most of the world has not seen true free market capitalism in many decades. It is socialism here in America that has crashed the economy. Socialism never helps the people only the tyrants who control the collection of others labors and productivity.
Which by its very nature is an immoral act. Doing evil so good may come, is still evil.
Human Nature is but a natural response to environmental changes. If you place two people on an island for a year with enough food and supplies for only 6months they may fight over it. Self Interest/Survival. If you place the same two on an island for a year with enough supplies and food for 5 years they will work together, explore and build. Now build an environment without scarcity using technology. Guess what will happen then? I'm right and you're both wrong :)
If you blindingly believe that Anarcho Capitalism will set you free than you are gravely mistaken.
The only way to free the markets is to remove a currency, value and money entirely from the equation. That is the ONLY way. If you follow a free market system the way Anarcho capitalists preach the result will be rampant poverty and a complete imbalance of wealth which will result in a revolution with Socialism or Communism taking over. You can observe this example from many other countries.
Pierre-Throwing labels your read in books at people is not debate.
An interesting quote by a socialist.
Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed.-Sarah Brady
Socialism is violence. Its advocates are tools for the criminal cartels who run the western world. By the way Canada is largely a socialist nation. How's your economy?
There is a difference between National Socialism Socialism and Democratic Socialism also known as a Social Democracy. There is nothing I hate more than someone who doesn't know the difference in governments and right wingers who lump all governments into one.
National Socialism is Fascism or Nazism and its the belief that one race should benefit from all workings in the state making that one race happy, but pissing all the other races off.
S1- "money taken from the rich Oligarchy and shared equally with the people." Have you ever seen that work in practice? Ask anyone in a socialist/communist country. The truth is the rich oligarchy use soc/com to rob the people and increase their wealth and power and the people are impoverished and murdered.
Democratic Socialism is the belief in a nanny or welfare state where people vote on government services like National Healthcare. Much like Canada, France, Britain, Cuba, Keeping democracy but still having to deal with the bureaucracy and will of the people to sustain these government programs. I firmly believe in Democratic Socialism or Social Democracy and believe it is the government of the 21st centaury.
Well what do we expect from the republicans? First they think by putting a moronic woman in the place of Hillary Clinton they will pick up disenfranchised woman votes. That didnt work for shit and now they think they can stick any black man on a podium and have him say words like change so people will think the republicans are progressive too, but they are the same group of neo-Nazi, ex-Klan members they always have been.
Nice, nice, i just had a huge argument on this subject on a TPMTV video post. Way to use simple logic to destroy the republicans argument. The repukes will then say even the mail system needs a bailout but fail to mention that they failed to pay infrastructure for the mail system for 6 years.

didn't the RNC try to transplant him from Maryland to Ill. to run against Obama for that Senate seat? or was that another one of the Republican's "black tokens."
I've had a lot of trouble with police in the past, but you can't deny the fact that they do protect you. I used to be a believing anarchist until I realized that it is INSANE to think that people will be nice to one another if the government disappears. Look to Somalia if you want to know what happens in a society without a government.

It sickens me that libs will accept an inexperienced black guy just because he is black and sings the silly lib song without any knowledge or experience, but you attack the black buy who is conservative. You call blacks who are conservative "uncle tom" which is disgusting. The truth is: a black conservative goes against what you libs tell them to believe and find the truth.

Headzup, there's a difference between "job" and "work", as Steele noted. a job and work isn't the same in that a Job actually exists to generate WEALTH. Work is really just giving people something to do for the sake of not giving them free money.

the point of it all is that, if you watched Steele's interview with Stephanopoulis, you would have seen him try and say that the government doesnt create jobs, it creates work. Only businesses creates job. George gave him two or three chances to try and explain it in a way that would make sense to the nearly 3 million people who have lost their jobs this past year and he couldn't. I'm sure that they would take 'work' over nothing at all.
tgear77 3 years ago
I am with you. It was a nice try. However, contract jobs are jobs. Of course, what we want are more longterm jobs. But government does have a very important role to play. George had every right to go after him. You are right, he gave old dude more chances than Katie Couric gave Palin.

You've conveniently excluded the part where he says "as soon as the contract expires, the job goes away."

The beginnings of modern Socialist Democracies came from the early Industrial Revolution. When it became clear that some changes had to be made to appease the discontent masses, the government, hitherto backers of business, began to make concessions to prevent the people from rising up in full revolt. These concessions took the form of 5-day work weeks, overtime pay and better working conditions.

Not at all.. Capitalism puts the drive for profits over the need of the society and the people's survival. Our interests and then divided and we're easily manipulated (because our response to economic uncertainty is a very natural one). True Liberty can only be achieved once we breaks these chains.
Socialism keeps your Capitalist system in check. Without it the lower classes would rebel and replace the wealthy classes (remember only the top 10% are wealthy). Your system is broken.

There was a black Republican from OK in Congress in the 1980s and 90s (or maybe just the 90s) who wrote a book about conservatism and color "What Color is a Conservative?", but no one really seems to remember the guy. He's hardly acknowledged anymore. Michael Steele is about the only black Republican in this country who's well-known, which is odd considering there are at least a few black republican organizations with a good number of members, such as the National Black Republican Assoc.

Nazism was not socialism though.. it was fascism. There was nothing socialist about Nazism. I mean if I tell you a bowl is filled with ice cream when it's quite apparent it's filled with Ketchup will you believe me? Of course not.
Socialism is but a belief in a common responsibility. It doesn't work well in a Capitalist system per-say but is nonetheless needed. Only an idiot would state otherwise.
PierreElliottTrudeau 3 years ago
Pierre- You make the classic errors in your definitions. First there has never been pure socialism, communism or fascism in practice that only exists in text books and lecture halls.
The German Workers Party did indeed start as a socialist movement. No matter how you polish the apple socialism always leads to tyranny and HAS killed 10's of millions.
Socialism is tyranny because someone must take from the collective by force in the name of redistribution.

Personally I'm a Liberty (negative Liberty.. a.k.a Individual Liberty) proponent. I am best described as a Classical Liberal (like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin).
But I believe that the only good system to be under is a Technocracy. Only human innovation can solve problems.. self interest is counter intuitive. And only technology can free us and give us true Liberty.
PierreElliottTrudeau 3 years ago
Because Technology can free us from useless, mindless labor and allow us to truly use our minds and imagination to create a better world by working to find solutions to problems that plague mankind.
In order to have this, we need to let go of self interest (greed). And the only way to do that is getting rid of Capitalism and working under a system that creates an environment where Human innovation can thrive (not bound by the limitations of Cost and Profit).
PierreElliottTrudeau 3 years ago

Plus America and most of the world has not seen true free market capitalism in many decades. It is socialism here in America that has crashed the economy. Socialism never helps the people only the tyrants who control the collection of others labors and productivity.
Which by its very nature is an immoral act. Doing evil so good may come, is still evil.

Human Nature is but a natural response to environmental changes. If you place two people on an island for a year with enough food and supplies for only 6months they may fight over it. Self Interest/Survival. If you place the same two on an island for a year with enough supplies and food for 5 years they will work together, explore and build. Now build an environment without scarcity using technology. Guess what will happen then? I'm right and you're both wrong :)
PierreElliottTrudeau 3 years ago
If you blindingly believe that Anarcho Capitalism will set you free than you are gravely mistaken.
The only way to free the markets is to remove a currency, value and money entirely from the equation. That is the ONLY way. If you follow a free market system the way Anarcho capitalists preach the result will be rampant poverty and a complete imbalance of wealth which will result in a revolution with Socialism or Communism taking over. You can observe this example from many other countries.

Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power -Benito Mussolini
airborne373 3 years ago
Fascism is the totalitarian philosophy of government that glorifies the
state and nation and assigns to the state control over every aspect of
national life. The name was first used by the party started by Benito
Mussolini, who ruled Italy from 1922 until the Italian defeat in World
War II. However, it has also been applied to similar ideologies in
other countries, e.g., to National Socialism in Germany and to the
regime of Francisco Franco in Spain.
S1Genocide 3 years ago
Fascism, especially in its early stages, is obliged to be
antitheoretical and frankly opportunistic in order to appeal to many
diverse groups. Nevertheless, a few key concepts are basic to
it. First and most important is the glorification of the state and the
total subordination of the individual to it. The state is defined as
an organic whole into which individuals must be absorbed for their own
and the state's benefit. This total state is absolute in its
methods and unlimited by law.
S1Genocide 3 years ago
Fascism has NOTHING to do with Corporatism. that definition of Fascism is nothing but Republican small buisness propaganda.
S1Genocide 3 years ago
A second ruling concept of fascism is embodied in the theory of
social Darwinism. The doctrine of survival of the fittest and the
necessity of struggle for life is applied by fascists to the life of a
nation-state. Peaceful, complacent nations are seen as doomed to fall
before more dynamic ones, making struggle and aggressive militarism a
leading characteristic of the fascist state. Imperialism is the
logical outcome of this dogma.
S1Genocide 3 years ago
Another element of fascism is its elitism. Salvation from rule by the
mob and the destruction of the existing social order can be effected
only by an authoritarian leader who embodies the highest ideals of the
nation. This concept of the leader as hero or superman, borrowed in
part from the romanticism of Friedrich Nietzsche, Thomas Carlyle, and
Richard Wagner, is closely linked with fascism's rejection of reason
and intelligence and its emphasis on vision, creativeness, and the
will."
